The parking lot of the Dry Creek apartments was the scene of the shooting.

Officers arrived a few minutes later and learned one person was shot and the suspect responsible for the shooting had already left the scene. Witnesses reported observing a dispute between the victim and suspect in the parking lot immediately prior to the shooting.

The victim, a 25-year-old Paso Robles resident, was transported by ambulance to an area hospital for treatment of his injuries. Police say his identity and condition are being withheld at this time while family members are being notified.
